Again?

I'm going to bed. I feel really crappy and I think I'm coming down with yet another cold. Seems like I just had one the other day. And this one's a doozy that's being passed around at work. People have been struggling with it for several days at a spell, taking off from work and being miserable for days on end. Gee, thanks guys. Here I thought I dodged this bullet and I was all proud of myself, crappy immune system be damned! But alas, the glands are swelling, the head is pounding, and I feel achy and sore all over. So off to bed I go.

Pete already hit the sack a few hours ago. He said he was going upstairs to "snuggle with the doggies" but I knew the minute his head hit that pillow, he'd be out. Sure enough, I went upstairs a half hour ago and he's completely tucked in, still wearing his work clothes but blankets pulled up tight to his scruffy chin. He moaned something about just resting for a few minutes and promptly went back to sawing logs. Sometimes he's so unintentionally cute that it's funny.

Well, off to bed go I. I'm hoping I awaken tomorrow refreshed and back to normal—normal for me being achy and having headaches that is, but definitely not slapped with a cold.

An Ode to this Fine Day

It is a sunny dayAnd the walls in here are grayI cannot bear to missA day as fine as thisMy thoughts do tend to wanderAs I grow so ever fonderOf the endless skies of blueOver trees of emerald hueAnd the birds that sing so fairWhile the breeze toussles my hairAnd the grass beneath my feetWith flowers that smell so sweetSo if you wouldn't mindAnd tend to think in kindMay we venture out the doorTo enjoy the day once more?
